THAT notion assumes that PERFECTION would not, did not, maybe could not have as HIS design . . . a component of PERFECT CHANGE

Does God get older? Does He get wiser? Does He get better? Does He get kinder? Does He get holier?

Is God not Justice? Is God not Truth? Is God not all that is Divine? Is God not Love? Can any of these "change?"

So what does God change into? What does Justice morph into? What does Divinity become? And Love?

It is shackeling God with anthropomorphic terms that places Him into a human-sized box. The Age of reason did that very well, when it humanized God and deified man. Western legacy.

As I've said above, GOD'S NATURE IS UNCHANGEABLE. His NATURE and what HE DOES are NOT IDENTICAL constructs, sets, realities.

GOD'S NATURE does not change. Therefore, nonsensical questions about HIs Nature are . . . welllllll, rather NONsensical.

It is, inmho, OUTRAGEOUSLY and insultingl of God to characterize His UNCHANGEABLENESS

IN
ANTHROMORPHIZED
LIMITING
TERMS.

God will NOT fit in such a tiny anthromorphized box--regarding His changless NATURE; regarding His changless DYNAMIC Nature nor any other aspect of His 'BEING.'
